Just hit 4K miles. I think I was going about 10 also. guess I’ll be shopping for a new machine, hoping to get a 900 Ace next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit a tree when right ski wandered off trail into powder and couldn’t recover. Hit tree between right ski and front bumper, but hit it hard enough to twist tunnel. I thought I got lucky and got away with having to replace both upper and lower a-arms, but I guess not. Funny thing is, did another 350 miles after the crash with no probs. Injury wise, right arm hit the tree as I went over and through the windshield, so that took the brunt of it. Deep bone bruise, that’s it though. No head injury, so I got that going for me. Glad you're okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to get one but I just can’t bring myself to buy s brand new sled and finding a deal on a used one is pretty tough. Maybe when all the guys who have to have the latest and greatest move up to the 900 Turbo there will be more of the regular ones hitting the market.

powderfreak Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 It is crazy to think that this evening could have been a hideous cutter and ended up a fun little event. From a forum standpoint, it does suck to have a really sweet winter in terms of number of fun events, while the bulk of posters are suffering. It sucks we can't all experience it at the same time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#NoPoles Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 2 seperate snowmobile accidents last week, both drivers died. One was a 30 yearl old woman who was 8 months pregnant. Baby didnt survive either. A third mishap, and older gentleman used last years gps trail guide and ended up taking an ungroomed trail and his sled got swallowed in the snow. He made his way back to town by walking out part of the way, and then getting assistance fron other riders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Milwaukees Best was $8 for a 24 rack when I was in college. We did that one night and never repeated the mistake ...except maybe one or two other times when we had no money. Our 40 of choice was usually old English (OE). Buck-ninetynine for one. Not sure what they run now. Prob 3 bucks. Edward 40 hands was somehow thought to be a good idea back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
